"I don't know if I was destined to work in films. It sounds kind of sad to put it that way. Life, DNA, destiny, fortune... My sister Fiore doesn't work in films, she's a shoe designer. Was she destined to be that? Sometimes I wonder what would have happened to me if I was the daughter of two plumbers. Would I be one too?"

Compagna di Viaggio

In 1996, Asia worked with award-winning actor Michel Piccoli in Peter del Monte’s 'Compagna di Viaggio' ('Travelling Companion'), which won her more awards and another David di Donatello.

“The second time I really didn’t expect to win”, she recalls, “so I went to the ceremony all alone. I didn’t even have a date. When I went back homme all alone that night, I was, like, 'What am I going to do now?' So I slept with the award”.

According to director Peter del Monte, his movie “could appeal to [people] who are not afraid of dealing with the dark side of life it is meant for those who don't go for high-tech special effects and cheap thrills. ‘Compagna di Viaggio’ is actually a simple film, an initiation drama”.

Asia plays Cora, an impulsive and rebellious 20 years old young woman who lives in Rome alone, with no permanent address and no permanent ties. Cora makes a living walking dogs in the daytime and working as a waitress in a bar at night. One day, the owner of the dog she takes for walks asks Cora to follow her father, Cosimo (Michel Piccoli), a retired university professor who seems to be either very absent-minded or senile. Cosimo's problem is that every time he ventures out of the house, he ends up getting lost; so Cora's job is to babysit him from a distance. One morning, Cosimo goes to the railway station and boards a train. Cora follows him.

So begins a journey into the unknown for Cora, where little by little she crosses into a twilight zone, another dimension "This voyage is a symbol; it is a voyage of self-discovery for Cora”, explains del Monte.

"A strange affinity develops between these two people, divided by age difference and social background, who have only one thing in common the feeling of alienation. At the end of the film, these two divergent aspects of life merge”.

"Asia is very wild, violent and spiritual, all at the same time, and Michel Piccoli is very light-hearted, yet deep. I am very happy with the outcome, with the way they portrayed Cora and Cosimo", says del Monte.
